Anyone Use Holdo?

in TW & TB: under a Finn lead, she can spam Bunker Buster like it's the 4th of July.

She was great in arena pre-Traya. EP lead was meta and her AOE daze shut that down. I ran JTR BB8 R2 RT Holdo for a long time and did very well. EP was cake, Bastila was cake, anything other than Traya was cake. Even with Traya in arena, I still did great because most people ran her under EP until Bastila showed up. At that point people switched to Traya lead and I struggled, although I was able to do ok against her depending on RNG.

The meta has moved on but she's still very good in TB/TW.

On paper, Holdo looks like an interesting toon. But in practice, I haven't found a team in which she seems to perform well. Do any of you use her? And if so, would you mind sharing the team compositions you're using with her?

I've been using her for a while, she's really good and would get me to between 60 and 50 on most days, and occasionally under 50. Unfortunately the time change and my job have combined to really screw with my payouts so now I'm hovering around 150 (I can for sure do 5 attacks a day, but only 1 before payout, so normally I do two or three and call it a day). She's G11, 7*, modded for potency, and zeta'd.

She has two jobs and does them very well:
1) Use her AoE and spread expose and daze.
2) Soak damage for as long as possible.

She almost always dies, but sure enough everyone else on my team is standing. One of the under-rated strengths of hers is that her taunt is a passive ability. So even if it's dispelled somehow (and it ALWAYS is) it'll come right back in a minute.

I used to use Scavenger Rey, but once she has a debuff she's too weak and all the teams on my leaderboard are heavy on debuffs. Instead I use Resistance Soldier, who can just spam that special of his over and over and over with all the exposes that get generated.

In territory wars I'll put the "new" resistance characters in one team and the old school ones in the other. It'd be different if I was attacking probably, but I don't have time for that--I just deploy everything on defense and let my friends do the lifting :p

I use her with JTR, bb8, R2, and RT in STR T6. Can do 3-5m damage there. I even put a zeta on her. She’s more of a tank than a damage dealer and it helps to keep everyone else alive. Plus daze and exposes. And she can clear the defense down off the rest/heal. I don’t regret the zeta at all.

You don't need her in STR. Put Scav Rey in her place and you'll do more damage.

I use her in TW defense with JTR, BB8, R2, and Rey the Almighty.

Got her at 12 gear, zeted... worst spending ever, unfortunately. She is tank and resistance already has 2 of them which interacts better: poe and fin. And along she is very underwhelming.
The only use I found for her is under RJT during TB. Her massive attack rather good.

Yeah she is a massive damage sponge. Poe and Finn are good at what they do but Holdo is a better tank. Ive had time where she is at just a sliver of health left and is healed to full by the end of battle.

Let us not forget that JTR is also classified in-game as a tank. She's as much as a tank as Poe and Finn, which is to say not really. Poe and Finn have a taunt and JTR has survivability thanks to constant foresight, but Holdo is the only one of the four who can both taunt and take a beating.

Holdo has the highest health pool of any character in the game not including mods. Probably worth it. My brother fought an RJT squad with a 95k protection G12 Holdo. Said it was brutal.
